It is used for photo shoots of young people who want to get as close as possible to the resemblance to princesses. It can be either paper or lace, which is more practical.
Openwork, or as they are also called, wedding umbrellas can be ordered on sites specializing in the sale of hand-made products, such as the "Fair of Masters" or "Pinterest".
How to choose
Thinking about the question of which model to give preference to, first of all, pay attention to the quality of the product. It will be better if the frame is made of durable steel, and not an alloy with an admixture of aluminum. The most reliable umbrella is the one that is equipped with an anti-wind system, with which you will be reliably protected from the weather.
The handle should be comfortable, not too massive and not heavy, easily fit in your hand.
Carefully inspect the dome material for damage. Microscopic holes from poor-quality machine stitching are unacceptable, they can subsequently increase, begin to let water through, and also cause further deformation of the fabric and detachment from the knitting needle.

How to care
White umbrellas are good for their individuality, showiness and elegance, but, unfortunately, they quickly get dirty. How to properly care for your favorite accessory?
- If the umbrella happened to come into an unsightly appearance, you can try to wash it. To do this, you need to prepare a soapy solution in a basin, place a half-open umbrella there and leave it for a couple of hours. Then rub the heavily soiled areas with a soft sponge and rinse thoroughly under running water.
- In case of lack of time or desire for washing, the method of cleaning with alcohol will come to the rescue. It is necessary to moisten the sponge abundantly and wipe the surface of the dome.
- If neither soaking nor alcohol had the desired effect, you can try using a solution of ammonia and water, diluted in the following proportion: half a glass of ammonia and one liter of water.
- Similar to the previous tip, you can dilute vinegar with water.
- For cleaning, it is unacceptable to use solvents such as acetone, as well as gasoline, kerosene.
- It is better to dry the product in a half-open form in order to avoid excessive stretching of the fabric and loosening of the knitting needles.
